The Colony Mountain Community well pump has failed. A new pump is being delivered as soon as possible, but that will be Tuesday at the earliest. Our community is limited to the water currently available in the tanks until then, and with normal usage we would run out by Sunday. Other interim solutions are being considered (like having water delivered to our tanks), but these solutions come with great expenses. So please conserve and use as little water as necessary to help us through this time. Thank you.

The Colony Mountain Community Club’s water pump is currently down. Repairs are underway, but we are currently limited to the water already available in the tanks, so it is important that we all work together to conserve water during this time. Please conserve your water use until further notice.

Notifications will be sent as soon as repairs are complete. Thank you.

Due to inclement weather, this weekend’s water meter reading is being rescheduled to the weekend of January 8-9, 2022. Please make sure the area around your meter is clear at that time, and manage any aggressive pets so that community volunteers can can easily read the meter within the meter box. Thank you!

Reminder: A meter clearing fee of $50 will be charged if your meter is not accessible and clear of brush for meter readings.

On Saturday October 23 the Community will be performing the bi-annual water system flushing per Washington State Department of Health Guidelines.

This involves running large volumes of water through our water system in an effort to remove sediments that may have collected with the distribution piping.

As the water is flushed through the lines, Ferric Iron (res water iron) that is loosely adhered to the inside of the pipes will be scrubbed loose and flow downstream. Most of the loose Ferric Iron will be flushed out, but you may find your water is cloudy and has reddish brown particles in it for a few days. This has no effect on the water quality (other than visually).

If you experience this condition you may run water through all of your taps (inside and out of the dwelling) for 5 to 10 minutes. This should remedy the condition. If the condition persists please contact the CMCC water system Manger for further guidance.

Additional Notes:

• CMCC does not add chlorine to the water system for routine system flushing.
• To avoid cloudy water within your house plumbing, you could opt to consider installing a whole house filter. An example of a water filter installation can be found on this site under the Water System section.
• Learn more about your water quality in the latest Consumer Confidence Report which is sent to you annually, and filed under the Water System section on this site.

Thankfully, we have all woken up to restored power this morning! So you may resume water use as usual. Please be sure to thank our hard-working utility workers for their swift repair work!

Due to extensive area-wide power outages, it may be some time before power is restored on Colony Mountain. During power outages we are limited to the water currently available in the tanks, so it is important that we all work together to conserve water during extended outages like this. Please conserve your water use until further notice.

Thank you for helping us all get through this together!
